The Houtman Abrolhos are a group of 122 islands and coral reefs located off Australia's west coast, and are currently under a comprehensive management plan. The Abrolhos are also part of the area's most important fishing industry and contains successful rock lobster and pearl aquaculture industries. This, together with a growing tourism industry in the region, highlights the potential of the Abrolhos Islands to be an example of conservation policy with diverse stakeholders working in the favor of nature and the populations (including human!) it supports.
